  Hello everybody I'm hopping on here to hopefully get a quick response with what my current situation is. My brother from another mother is finally getting out of the pen here pretty soon, with that I want to have his bike (2006 shadow) outside waiting for him. A while back he bought 10" handlebars (Z style) and I want to throw them on there for him as well, here's the thing tho. I'm on the road 7 days out of the week and I rarely ever have time to get all the cables measured but if anyones out there that has that style please lmk what length of cables you got it would mean the world.i

  @WHT LIGHTNING Theres a number of factors here - grip pullback, riser height, how far leaned back or forward the bars are,  and how wide the levers will be on the bars. 
  
  this is why its nearly impossible to just throw a number out and it be correct. 
  your brake line will need ot be replaced. i would add 6-8 inches to that. 

  for the throttle pull cable i would add 4-6 inches. 
  for the clutch cable, i would add 6 inches as it is thicker and doesnt flex as well as the throttle cable. 
  Wider grip more pull back and taller risers and  more tip back ont he bars will require more length than a narrow grip, and less tip back of the bars. 

  DO FUN SHIT!
